This silky smooth corn pudding casserole satisfies the summer craving for sweet corn on the cob. This cheesy green chili casserole is an easy savory recipe that is a new version of the southern classic corn pudding that my grandma used to make. It is creamy and soft, similar to the Chevy’s corn pudding if you ever have had it.
It is both sweet and spicy with the introduction of the flavorful green chiles. You can also make this corn pudding with jalapenos or poblanos. The consistency is silky compared to grainy cornbread and the bits of corn add some crunchy texture. And though I do not eat grains often, especially wheat, this recipe is one of those I do indulge in. My brother often asks me about recipes or when dining out, was it “gluten-worthy”?
Corn Pudding Can be Made Ahead of Time
This easy recipe can be assembled ahead of time to bake later. You can also bake this corn pudding recipe and warm it up later. It is also one of my family’s favorites. They eat seconds and are happy to eat leftovers. Now that is saying a lot! I have yet to make this for someone that has not loved it. If you are having guests and you want leftovers, you should strongly consider doubling this recipe.
Ingredients for Corn Casserole
You will need some staples like eggs, butter, salt, and pepper. This corn pudding recipe uses Jiffy corn muffin mix. Then add the can corn, creamed corn, sour cream, and green chiles. You can also use frozen corn for this corn casserole recipe.
I consider this a “half scratch” recipe. For me, “half scratch” is where home-cooked meets ready-made, such as the corn muffin mix in this recipe. It is an easy recipe with tons of homemade taste.
How to Make Corn Pudding Casserole
Mix all the ingredients together and pour into a greased 2qt casserole dish. I like to use this Pyrex casserole dish which is 11x7x1.5″. Many recipes call for a deeper casserole dish but I have decided for our family this works best and I will tell you why.
Why Use a Shallow Casserole Dish?
A shallow dish allows the batter to spread out more which means it cooks faster in the oven. This saves about 15 minutes of cooking time. When you have hungry kids, those 15 minutes can be the difference between happy kids or hangry kids. Tell me I am not right!
Also, I find I can cut square pieces and lift them out of this casserole dish easier. The servings come out more like cornbread squares instead of the typical serving of corn pudding like a spoon bread. My kids prefer it this way. Also when you make this for guests and potlucks it is also better for presentation and portioning.

Green Chile Sweet Corn Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 8.5oz box Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
- 1 15oz can whole kernel corn drained
- 1 15oz can cream-style corn
- 1/2 C sour cream
- 1/2 C butter melted
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 4oz can green chiles drained
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚
- Grease a 2-quart casserole dish, I prefer the 11x7x1.5″ pan and the cooking time reflects this size.
- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. If you want only part of the casserole to have green chiles, leave them out in this step and just sprinkle them on the top at the end.
- Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and spread evenly. Top with green chiles in this step if you did not mix them in already.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- Let set about 5 minutes before serving.

I would love to see your latest creations and kitchen adventures.
yum! This looks fantastic!
This looks so yummy and kid approved!
My kids are starting to venture into spicier foods as well, so this sounds like a delicious option!
This for sure is a great step into the spicier realm for kids. This is one of the first things all my kids really liked with any sort of heat to it. It is very mild for my palate but for them, it was “daring!”
Love this recipe! I can’t wait to try it!! Thank you so much I pinned it for later!
I think my family will really love these. Thank you for sharing
This is a recipe I am definitely saving and trying! My husband and myself love favors and stuff like this. Thank you for sharing!
This looks amazing! I love corn muffins and I am sure it will be a hit!
My mom was the one who taught me how to make corn casserole. It’ll be interesting to present a green chile twist to it.
Let me know what you think when you try it with the green chiles. I have done a jalapeno version too but the green chiles are our favorite with the corn.
What a great way to dress up a box of Jiffy! The pictures make it really easy to follow, too. Thanks!!
This sounds yummy!!!! I love homemade corn bread. Warm out of the oven with some butter… yummmm
This one is so good too. This one is so moist you may even skip the butter. Oh who am I kidding, life is always better with butter!
Too much corn stuff for me, but hubby would love this…especially since we’re originally from New Mexico and LOVE our green chiles.
Sounds like your husband will love this.
Looks delightful!
Can’t wait to try this!
Those look delicious! I’ve always used straight cornmeal to make muffins, and I’ve never used creamed corn. There’s something so comforting about corn muffins!
Looks so good!! I love all things corn 🙂
This looks so delicious and easy too! I love side dishes like this that I can put together to make a dinner go farther, and I love anything with Green Chilies!
This looks delish! You can’t go wrong with green chilies! And sweet corn of course!
I agree. It is sort of a match made in heaven!
This looks delicious. And anything with 1/2 cup of butter has to be good!
Butter! Amen!
Great flavor combo here with the chilis and sweet corn, the perfect cornbread for so many dishes! Thanks for sharing 🤗
You are welcome. I hope you try this out soon, you won’t be disappointed.
This looks so yummy!! It has to be Hatch Green Chilies though because they are the absolute best
My boys would devour this in an instant ~ yup! I would certainly have to double the recipe – AT LEAST!
I hope your boys love it as much as my kids do.
These look good! I think I could adapt the recipe to make it vegan and gluten free.
Let me know if you make it happen, good luck!
Looks delicious! I love any kind of corn bread. And my family loves chiles. I’ll have to check this out.
This looks amazing!! Pinning it to make later. Thanks!
